Are you getting a “The action attempted has been deemed abusive or is otherwise disallowed” error on Facebook?
Here’s the first part of the error, “Something went wrong. Please try again”.
If so, you won’t be able to do certain actions like creating a new Facebook account.
The error message can also happen if you try to send a message on Messenger.
In this guide, you’ll learn what “The action attempted has been deemed abusive or is otherwise disallowed” means on Facebook and how to fix it.
- What does it mean when Facebook says the action attempted has been deemed abusive?
- How to fix “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” on Facebook
What does it mean when Facebook says the action attempted has been deemed abusive?
When Facebook says that the action attempted has been deemed abusive, it means that you’ve been flagged as spam.
If so, your IP address will be temporarily blocked.
When that happens, you won’t be able to carry out certain actions on Facebook.
For example, you won’t be able to create a new account.
You might also be blocked from sending messages on Messenger.
In most cases, Facebook might have mistakenly flagged you as spam and blocked your IP address.
The IP address block can last for 24 hours or more.
Fortunately, there is a way to bypass the block—by switching your network or connecting to a VPN.
To fix “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” on Facebook, you need to create a new Facebook account on the Facebook website.
Alternatively, you can switch your network or connect to a VPN.
Method 1: Create a new Facebook account on the Facebook website
- Go to www.facebook.com.
- Tap on “Create New Account”.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account.
Creating a new Facebook account on Facebook.com will bypass the “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” error.
If you’re still experiencing the error, you can try the second method.
Method 2: Switch your network
- If you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, switch to mobile data.
- If you’re using mobile data, switch to a Wi-Fi network.
- You can also try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network.
- If all else fails, try connecting to a VPN.
The error on Facebook means that your IP address is temporarily blocked.
Switching your network will bypass the block.
This is because your IP address will be changed.
If all else fails, you can try connecting to a VPN.
To do so, download a free VPN app on the App Store or Google Play Store and connect to a free VPN.
After you’ve switched your network or connected to a VPN, you need to force close the Facebook/Messenger app.
Lastly, re-open the Facebook/Messenger app and check if the error message is gone.

How to Fix “App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode”
I’m trying to post a feed on my wall or on the wall on some of my friends using Graph API. I gave all permissions that this application needs, allow them when i make the request from my page, I’m having a valid access token but even though this exception occurs and no feed is posted. My post request looks pretty good, the permissions are given. What do I need to do to show on facebook app that I’m not an abusive person. The last think I did was to dig in my application Auth Dialog to set all permission I need there, and to write why do I need these permissions.
I would be very grateful if you tell me what is going on and point me into the right direction of what do I need to do to fix this problem.

Had the same problem. I figured out that Facebook was refusing my shortlinks, which makes me a bit mad…but I get the point because its possible that shortlinks can be used to promote malicious content…so if you have shortlinks as part of your test, replace them w the full url…

I believe this message is encountered for one of the two reasons :
- Your post contains malicious links
- You are trying to make a POST request over a non-https connection.
The second one is not confirmed but I have seen that behavior. While same code in my heroku hosted app worked fine, it gave this #368 error on my 000webhost hosted .tk domain which wasn’t secured by SSL

Just in case anyone is still struggling with this, the problem occurs when you put URLs or «action links» that are not in your own app domain, if you really need to post to an extarnal page, you’ll have to post to your app first, then redirect from there using a script or something. hope that helps.
also it’s better in my opinion to use HTTPS links, as sometimes i’ve seen a behaviour where http links would be rejected, but that’s intermittent.

I started noticing that recently as well when running my unit tests. One of the tests I run is submitting a link that I know Facebook has blocked to verify that I handle the error correctly. I used to get this error:
Warning: This Message Contains Blocked Content: Some content in this message has been reported as abusive by Facebook…
But starting on July 4th, I started receiving this error instead:
(#368) The action attempted has been deemed abusive or is otherwise disallowed’
Both errors indicate that Facebook doesn’t like what you’re publishing.

Facebook пользуется популярностью среди пользователей. Мы рассматривали как завести в нем аккаунт. Однако бывают случаи, что не получается зарегистрироваться в Фейсбук (Facebook). Какая причина? Рассмотрим самые распространенные проблемы, возникающие при создании аккаунта.
Содержание
- Ошибки при заполнении
- Неправильное имя
- Недопустимый адрес электронной почты
- Не приходит письмо с подтверждением регистрации
- При подтверждении регистрации появляется ошибка
- Другой выдает себя за вас
- Не подтверждается аккаунт
- Вывод
Ошибки при заполнении
Зайдя на сайт https://www.facebook.com/ откроется регистрационная форма, где придется заполнить такие поля:
- Имя и Фамилия;
- Номер телефона или пароль;
- Дата рождения;
- Пол женщина/мужчина.
Разберемся как ее правильно заполнить. Это поможет ответить на вопрос: почему не могу зарегистрироваться в Фейсбук (Facebook).
Неправильное имя
Создатели соцсети требуют использования настоящих имен, чтобы другие пользователи знали, к кому они обращаются. Подумайте не приятно получать приглашение о дружбе от человека с именем «Super Mario» или «Обама».
Чтобы обеспечить безопасность, использование некоторых имен заблокировано, для предотвращения создания вредоносного аккаунта. Не используйте пробелы и лишние символы: нижнее подчеркивание, звездочки. Пишите имя русскими или латинскими буквами.
Проверьте что имя соответствует правилам соцсети. Посмотрите их по адресу: https://www.facebook.com/help/112146705538576?helpref=faq_content.
Недопустимый адрес электронной почты
Проверьте что email адрес написан без ошибок и опечаток, которые часто возникают после ввода символа «@». Помните, что для одного адреса почты регистрируется только один аккаунт.
Рекомендую указывать правдивый возраст и пол. Это придаст вам больше доверия
Не приходит письмо с подтверждением регистрации
Проверьте папку спам. Некоторые письма блокируются провайдерами. Обратитесь в службу поддержки https://www.facebook.com/help/.
При подтверждении регистрации появляется ошибка
Сделайте так:
- Зайдите на сайт прописав Email вводимый при регистрации;
- Скопируйте ссылку из письма, отправленном для подтверждения аккаунта, вставьте ее в новом окне браузера.
Другой выдает себя за вас
Заполните форму расположенную по адресу: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/295309487309948. Предоставьте сканы, подтверждающие вашу личность, иначе Facebook не будет рассматривать заявление. Это формой может воспользоваться только человек без профиля.
Не подтверждается аккаунт
Если не приходит SMS, заполните форму, расположенную по адресу: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/283958118330524. Если прописан неверный номер отредактируйте его, и попросите повторную отправку SMS.
Особое внимание уделите паролю. Число символов должно быть более 8. Сделайте его уникальным, не совпадающим с паролями на других сервисах. Как это сделать было описано в статье «Генератор паролей».
Вывод
Возможно, не получается зарегистрироваться из-за отсутствия интернет, или причина в используемом браузере. Попробуйте обновить страницу. Убедитесь, что вход происходит с официального сайта. Попробуйте зарегистрироваться с ПК знакомого, или воспользуйтесь смартфоном. Внимательно изучите раздел помощи. Facebook заинтересован в новых пользователях. Заполняйте все внимательно, и сложностей с регистрацией не возникнет.
Я пытаюсь опубликовать фид на своей стене или на стене у некоторых моих друзей, используя Graph API. Я дал все разрешения, необходимые для этого приложения, разрешить их, когда я делаю запрос с моей страницы, у меня есть действительный токен доступа, но даже если это исключение происходит, и ни один канал не отправлен. Мой запрос на почту выглядит довольно хорошо, даны разрешения. Что мне нужно сделать, чтобы показать в приложении facebook, что я не оскорбительный человек. Последнее, что я подумал, это выкопать в моем приложении Auth Dialog, чтобы установить все необходимые мне разрешения, и написать, зачем мне эти разрешения.
Я был бы очень благодарен, если бы вы сказали мне, что происходит, и укажите мне правильное направление того, что мне нужно сделать, чтобы исправить эту проблему.
Ответ 1
Была та же проблема. Я выяснил, что Facebook отказывается от моих коротких ссылок, что меня немного смущает… но я понимаю, что его можно использовать для распространения вредоносного контента… поэтому, если у вас есть ссылки на короткую ссылку как часть вашего теста, замените их на полный url…
Ответ 2
Я считаю, что это сообщение встречается по одной из двух причин:
- Ваше сообщение содержит вредоносные ссылки
- Вы пытаетесь сделать запрос POST по не-https-соединению.
Второй не подтвержден, но я видел это поведение. В то время как тот же код в моем приложении, работающем в моем герое, работал нормально, он дал эту ошибку # 368 на моем домене .tek, который был не защищен SSL
Ответ 3
На всякий случай, если кто-то все еще борется с этим, проблема возникает, когда вы добавляете URL-адреса или «ссылки действий», которые не находятся в вашем собственном домене приложения, если вам действительно нужно опубликовать страницу extarnal, вам придется сначала отправьте сообщение в свое приложение, затем перенаправите его с помощью script или что-то еще. надеюсь, что это поможет.
также лучше, на мой взгляд, использовать HTTPS-ссылки, поскольку иногда я видел поведение, при котором ссылки HTTP были бы отклонены, но это прерывисто.
Ответ 4
Я начал замечать это недавно и при выполнении моих модульных тестов. Один из тестов, которые я запускаю, представляет ссылку, которую, как я знаю, заблокирован, чтобы проверить правильность обработки ошибки. Я использовал эту ошибку:
Предупреждение: это сообщение содержит заблокированный контент. Некоторое содержимое в этом сообщении было сообщено как оскорбительное для Facebook…
Но начиная с 4 июля я начал получать эту ошибку:
(# 368) Попытка действия была признана оскорбительной или иначе запрещена
Обе ошибки указывают, что Facebook не нравится то, что вы публикуете.
This is the error I get for some hours now:
102053: 2020-05-28 01:31:11,196 INFO libpurple: http:Request 0xaaaaf732aea0 performed without success.
102053: 2020-05-28 01:31:11,197 INFO libpurple: connection:Connection error on 0xaaaaf6f73b00 (reason: 2 description: The action attempted has been deemed abusive or is otherwise disallowed)
102053: 2020-05-28 01:31:11,199 INFO libpurple: account:Disconnecting account ****** (0xaaaaf6fe62a0)
It was working without any problems for the last several weeks.
Confirmed. Setting the sync-interval to a higher value avoids this. The default is 5 (minutes). I used 1440 (which is 24 hours), so far so good.
This started happening for me a couple days ago. Changing the sync interval seems to do the trick for now for me.
I’m using Windows and I didn’t build Pidgin from source. Is that the only way to customize the sync interval?

@psychonaut25 You don’t have to. That parameter is exposed as a configurable setting. Go to Accounts, Modify, then Advanced.
I have been struggling with this for 2 days now, finally found this forum. I set mine to 120 minutes (2 hours), hopefully this is enough. Seems to be a change on Facebook’s end, would just need the default setting upped, I think.
Same issue. It started yesterday roughly at 12 am. Increasing sync interval did not fix it, and it doesn’t happen during every sync interval.
It’s great that we can set this by configuration value, but is a PR needed to push the default value (currently 5) up by some amount so as to not trigger this abuse check?

Increasing the default value does not solve the problem (at least not for me). It sometimes doesn’t happen at the default value, and sometimes happens at high values. After looking at the logs, it appears that accessing the facebook graph API is a cause.
@yzhou1996 how high did you increase it? 120 minutes (2 hours) was not high enough for me, whereas I have had no issues since I set it to 1440 minutes I have had no issues.

I have tried 1440 as well, which seemed to work for a day. I have also reset it to 5 and it worked for a day. On any setting, it’s hit or miss for me. I never get these messages from 1 am to 9 am for some reason.
I currently have this option on 1140 and it seems to be ok for last few days. However, I had some troubles even with this value.
I also noticed that the problems started when one of group chats was a bit more active, even though it was not handled by purple-facebook and spectrum. I’m not sure if it was related or just a coincidence.

This just started happening to me two days ago. None of my group chats was active so my guess is probably not.
same issue here, changing the sync to see if there will be any improvement.
What is the lowest interval that has worked for anyone? 1440?
I haven’t tried anything lower than 1440
This error just happened to me.
Been having the same problem here repetitively, adjusted to 1440 and will keep an eye for further occurences.
I am having the same issue, even after setting the interval to 1440 facebook still locks me out of my own account and I’m forced to change password and refresh the app passwords.
same problem ocurrs to me now 
I seem to have managed mitigating the issue by redoing the login from pidgin while having a browser open on facebook, this triggered a message on the website asking me to confirm that it was me who was logging on.
After confirming I didn’t have any more issues.
Probably some token issue.
